Several new lenses are covered, including (for the 7D) the EF 70-200 2.8L IS and EF 24-70 2.8L, which I’ve been using whilst testing the camera (The EF 14mm 2.8L II is still not supported for any camera, which is an ongoing minor irritation ;-) You can process images taken with non supported lenses, but some specific/automatic lens correction features are not available.

The Mac and PC versions have parted company for a while, but I’m assured that a Mac version of V6 will be available early next year. When it is, I’ll write up a more comprehensive review, since it has a number of interesting features, but Northlight doesn’t have any windows PCs

The Raw converter for the 7D works fine, although I tend to use DxO as a converter for limited sets of images for my landscape work, rather than everyday use for my commercial work. It’s what I’ve turned to, to produce some of my biggest prints.

Noise handling at higher ISO is efficient, and I look forward to trying the new V6 features in this area.

The image itself was from when I went out for a short walk yesterday lunchtime. To get the juxtaposition I set the camera on high speed burst and picked the shot that matched the best, as people walked past :-)

800 ISO and the images were fine for good sized prints.

If you’re curious, we’ve reviewed every version of DxO since it first came out:

DxO Optics Pro Software that can correct many of the distortions produced by lenses.

Disclosure Note – I’ve been involved in Beta testing software for DxO for several years, so I always suggest people download the trial version and see how it performs for themselves. There are a lot of subjective features in what can make a good image form a RAW file.
